Jean Elizabeth, absolutely beautiful, 7lbs 8 oz, 21 or so inches, 12:38 July 28, 2006.
35 minutes of watching pushing, 2 hours of holding her hand as they figured out where to stitch the pieces back to. But she's the best best-friend in the world, and she needed me. I was glad to be there.
something I just thought of... Sol, l>t, did you notice we all seem to have started within a month of eachother? I seem to recall l>t having another blog, but I can't remember when that one was started...
Excuse any grammar mistakes, it is, as I mentioned, 2 am.
...Sol, these pics are for you. My parents took them while they were up in northern Maine... "Wild Blueberry La
nd"
Those are giant metal blueberries, all next to the parkinglot.
A new icon! BUT... it won't let me use the one I have, the file's too big. Because at 1 am, I forget to check those things. Oops. BUT (yet again...) you get to see it anyway. :D
I made it. Watch it please.
Well, I suspect you've all noticed I'm a little obsessed with my bands (I'm so possessive ;) ). I've got a new one for you, I just heard them for the first time at the concert I went to... Hinder. They're pretty new I guess, but very good. Strongly recommended.
"When you said those three words I kinda freaked out
When you said them first my jaw hit the ground
I shoulda woulda coulda said it back to you
And this can't be saved if you can't be found
You hung up and left me for dead on the ground
You didn't even say goodbye
And this can't be saved
And this can't be saved
If you can't be found
If you can't be found
I shoulda woulda coulda said it back to you
I shoulda woulda coulda said it back to you"
-"Shoulda," Hinder
Iwas going to include music too, but the stupid, fucking, Goddamn upload program won't work. Figures. I should know better than to use that site.
Oliver with a yogurt-covered-banana hamster treat... her favorite. I believe she was trying to stuff it into her cheek pouch for safe keeping till she was back in her tank.
Speaking of her tank... Oliver's new and improved tank! Her old one was good, but I needed it for a gerbil who had to be in a tank, so I gave her a cage. She strongly disliked it, and that made me sad. After all, I love my Oliver. Then my friend found this in her barn, and gave it to me. Now Oliver is always happy.
Oh no! This is today. It's too hot for hamsters. She's been rubbing her back on the spout of her water bottle to cool off, so she's all wet and her fur is sticking up funny. I carried her around outside for a few minutes, and then gave her an ice cube. I think that'll make her feel better.
My best friend's kitty Pepper (aka, Princess Peppercorn), eating salad off an abandoned plate. She's an odd one.
so... I worked 8 hours (9-lunch) saturday, can't remember Sunday but I know I did something, worked 8.5 hours monday, went minigolfing with small children then to fireworks (which involved about 4 miles up and down a very big hill) on tuesday, worked 8.5 hours wednesday/thursday/friday nights, 8 hours saturday/sunday(today) midday, and I'll be in 8.5 tomorrow, and tuesday I'm going to a concert. I have had to cover 3-7 different departments on some nights (ranking somewhere between physically improbable and impossible). I have been sworn at and screamed at by several different customers. I am in pain. I am exhausted.
I'm going to be away for a few more days, I think.
